MADRID PLANE CRASH SPANAIR JK5022 BARAJAS TO LAS PALMAS

As Spanair Flight JK5022 neared takeoff, it entered one of the most critical phases of flight: a brief period when split-second pilot decisions can spell the difference between safety and catastrophe.
Initial reports from Madrid, where 153 people died in a fiery crash just off the runway Wednesday, indicate that an engine problem or some other disturbance occurred as the Boeing MD-82was taking off.

If so, the jet's two pilots would have been pressed to instantly carry out emergency procedures, according to aviation safety experts and MD-80 pilots.

"A failure to act promptly or a failure to act correctly by a flight crew during that critical phase of flight can be very, very problematic," says Mark Goodrich, a pilot and safety consultant.

Few details have emerged to indicate what might have caused the jet loaded with holiday travelers to break into pieces just off Madrid-Barajas Airport, sparing only 19 of the 172 people aboard. Nothing has been officially ruled out, from mechanical failure to terrorism, although Spanish media has reported that video shows the engine did not explode at takeoff.

@anddyx This accident didn't have anything to do with Spanish authorities. It was due to pilot error +failure of the TOWs alarm system. The plane wasn't properly configured for take off, a type of stupid accident that has sadly happened before in the USA and Argentina, among others. By the way, IBERIA for example, hasn't had a single mortal accident in the whole of its jet history since the 60`s, so shut up, racist idiot

@anddyx The Spanish authorities didn't have anything to do with the crash. It was pilot error+plus failure of the TOWs alarm system. The plain wasn't properly configured for take off and the alarm system didn't alert the pilots. This type of accident has sadly happened before, in the States and Argentina, etc. By the way, IBERIA for example is one of the airlines with fewer mortal accidents in its jet history, in fact, none since the 60's, so calm down and shut up racist idiot!

@amatorynumber You are wrong about IBERIA's safety record. They killed 148 at Bilbao in 1985 when a 727 crashed into a radio antenna.

@719reno pero en la pelicula se reflejaron las investigaciones, la alarma de que los flabs no estaban puestos no sonó i se enteraron en el ultimo momento, no se exactamente lo que pasó pero fue una trajedia

@amatorynumber Hola lei tu comentario de un año atras pero igual apoyo tu punto de vista, y en otro comentario lei que un mecanico español defendia el mantenimiento de las aeronaves por parte de las empresas españolas.- Como tu dices fue un accidente y merece investigarse pero para que no vuelvan a repetirse, no para condenar a nadie, no olvidemos que somos seres humanos y no somos perfectos, me solidarizo con el dolor de los españoles.- Saludos desde Argentina
